As we drove, somehow the gun went off, the bullet whizzing past the officer's head. The officer wanted to be invisible. He tried desperately to sink ever deeper into the driver's seat.

VIC DARK is a deeply terrifying man. He has spent nineteen years inside for armed robbery, and throughout his life of crime he has been convicted for stabbing and shooting. His criminal record is an awesome document: but the truth about his real-life exploits are far, far more sinister.

He tells of his work as the enforcer for London's most feared gangsters, of his life inside where he was rated the hardest man in Parkhurst, and of the robbery which ended with Vic taking a policeman, a pyjama-clad Irish man and a Chinese chef hostage in a police car!
